The preacher liked to coordinate his message with the choir every Sunday.
One week the preacher said, “Brothers and sisters, I’ll be preaching this Sunday on the topic of steadfastness in our service to God. What hymn should we sing?”
A member of the choir chimed in with, “I Shall Not Be Moved!”
The next week the preacher said, “Brothers and sisters, I’ll be preaching this Sunday on the topic of tithes and gladness in giving to the Lord. What hymn should we sing?”
A different member of the choir called out, “Jesus Paid It All.”
The following week the preacher said, “Brothers and sisters, I’ll be preaching this week on the evils of fornication. What hymn should we sing?”
From the back row an older choir member sighed fondly, “Precious Memories.”
